Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012151616A1] An electro-mechanical musical instrument capable of generating a whole or partial instrument resonant frequency, said instrument comprising a body (1) having a first end (2) and a second end (3), a soundboard (4) positioned between said first and second ends adapted to generate a live frequency response and a contact microphone or sensor (5) adapted to receive said resonant frequency wherein said body includes a rigid member (6) positioned between said first and second ends of said body, said rigid member being adapted to apply tension or compression between said first and second ends of said body and simultaneously contact said soundboard between said first and second body ends such that said application of tension or compression adjusts or modifies said resonant frequency of said instrument.
